Chapter Text
It all started when the band started falling apart. Harry and Louis would spend more time together alone. Niall wanted to spend more time with his boyfriend/our drummer Josh. Zayn and I were forced to spend time together (not that we minded). The only bad thing about this was that for interviews and public appearances we had to pretend that everything was alright and that we hadn’t (kinda) fallen out with each other.
5 years and 6 months after One Direction were put together on the x factor. We announced our split. Fans went crazy. Journalists turned up everywhere we went trying to find out why we had split up. But the truth is there was no story. The interviews got more and more awkward with lies building and building. No one knew what to talk about when we went out for dinner so we sat in an awkward silence.
It was Harry and Louis’ idea to split up. Niall, Zayn and I saw it coming. I was more shocked than surprised. Management went crazy and tried to keep it a secret from everyone. But news soon got out after we did last secret twitcam together – at the bottom of the x factor stairs. We all knew fans would love the last twitcam to be there. Fans were shocked and said their final goodbyes to us and the friends they had made. We sang Torn for a final time together before saying our final goodbyes to everyone and leaving…forever.
